To find the experimental probability of getting heads, we first determine the number of heads obtained in the 50 coin tosses.
Since you got 14 tails, the number of heads is:
\[
50 - 14 = 36
\]
Next, we calculate the experimental probability of getting heads:
\[
\text{Experimental Probability of Heads} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Tosses}} = \frac{36}{50}
\]
To convert this into a percentage, we multiply by 100:
\[
\frac{36}{50} \times 100 = 72\%
\]
Thus, the experimental probability of getting heads is **72%**.
